Demhar Graham appeals his convictions for second-degree murder and
tampering with physical evidence. We affirm his convictions without comment but
remand for the trial court to enter a written order, nunc pro tunc, reflecting its oral finding
that Graham was competent to proceed. See Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.212(c)(7) ("If, at any
time after such commitment, the court decides, after hearing, that the defendant is
competent to proceed, it shall enter its order so finding and shall proceed."); see, e.g.,
Carroll v. State, 157 So. 3d 385, 386 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015); Williams v. State, 130 So. 3d
763, 764 (Fla. 2d DCA 2014).
Affirmed; remanded with directions.
